Language Services Associates Reviews

While you are working from home and set your time as available for any given amount of time, and you cannot do anything else during that time, you only get paid in cents per minute interpreted. So, you set yourself as available for 4 hours, but you will end up getting paid only about 25% of your available time.

For contractors they pay a per minute rate that each contractor negotiates between them and LSA. However, even though the contract says, "per minute", if your interpretation lasts 59 seconds and not the whole minute, then you don't get paid for the partial minute. You get $0. But the customer is charged for the minute. Every over-the-phone agency I have worked for as a contract interpreter paid the partial minute. BUT NOT LSA! Contract Interpreter BEWARE!
